Joyce Kwok is a Hong Kong born, Tassie and Brisbane bred and now Melbourne based blogger. She’s the face and brains behind MEL: HOT OR NOT – The decisive guide to Melbourne (www.melhotornot.com) and BNE: HOT OR NOT – The decisive guide to Brisbane (www.bnehotornot.com), when she’s not moonlighting as an intellectual property, media and IT lawyer. Since her first overseas trip to Okinawa aged 12 months, Joyce has eaten, slumbered, hiked and audio-guided her way through approximately 50 countries and she intends to keep up the count. More than anything, Joyce likes eating pastries, watching ballet, receiving fresh flowers, collecting discount vouchers and cycling around the city in stilettos, a floaty dress and her designer Danish bike helmet.
